Abstract

This study aimed to compare the therapeutic effects and adverse events of the multikinase inhibitors sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib and axitinib in advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was performed to assess the effects of multikinase inhibitors among patients with advanced RCC. The data of median progression‑free survival (PFS), median overall survival (OS), progressive disease rate (PDR), objective response rate (ORR) and grade 3/4 adverse events were extracted to assess therapeutic effects and toxicity, respectively. It was found that multikinase inhibitors are more effective in extending PFS [hazard ratio (HR)=0.58; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.45-0.74; P<0.0001), controlling tumor progression [relative risk (RR)=0.67; 95% CI: 0.55-0.83; P=0.0002) and ORR (RR=2.93; 95% CI: 1.40-6.14; P=0.004) compared with placebo or interferon-α. Patients treated with multikinase inhibitors had significantly higher rates of grade 3 or 4 hypertension (RR=6.00; 95% CI: 3.36-10.69; P<0.00001), diarrhea (RR=5.84; 95% CI: 3.06-11.16; P<0.00001), nausea (RR=2.30; 95% CI: 1.16-4.54; P=0.02), vomiting (RR=1.84; 95% CI: 1.00-3.41; P=0.05) and hand-foot skin reaction (RR=11.78; 95% CI: 5.16-26.93; P<0.00001). Multikinase inhibitors can significantly control disease progress and improve the ORR. However, they are also associated with a higher risk of grade 3 and 4 hypertension and gastrointestinal events. Proper management of these events is necessary to improve patient quality of life.
